The bay 1t SAVANNAH.

Better than the parks and drives OF
Savannah liked the place they call the
bay IL commerce had not claimed Iliis
spot fashion must have been eager for
such place to drive or walk in. The
esplanade is wide, and, though there is
always Life and certain busy air there,
there are times when You need not be
jostled, and can look at your leisure across
the river ut the country beyond, which
has the appearance of a picture spread out
for your benefit. 1t seems to be great
praise to say of landscape that it looks
like picture. From this Bluff which is
forty or fifty feet high, the country Of
woods is peculiarly attractive, lying be-
yond the water, with IN Areadian calm
contrasting sharply with the busy life
about you. Perhaps it Is the absolute
contrast which makes the scene SO strik-
ing. You are in the very midst of ware
houses, of buying and selling, and the din
of large city; there, seeming but
hands breath away, is the solitude of the
woods and fields. You can almost see the
rabbit starting away from the copse and
escaping through the long grass; you can
smell the woodland scents. When think
of Savannah shall always think first of
the bay The tall warehouses below the
bluff and close against it, with feet in the
river, add striking feature to the place;
it is over their roofs that you look of at
the sylvan beauty beyond the stream.
